Cast Out Pride, Loose Love and Compassion

Remember your own struggles with sin and faults. Remember desiring mercy and encouragement. Bind and cast out the demons of criticism and pride. Loose humble Love instead. Real Love overlooks faults. Love one another. Matthew 7:3-5 3 Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite (play-actor, pretender), first get the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you. Leviticus 19:17-18 Do not bear a grudge against others, but settle your differences with them, so that you will not commit a sin because of them. Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord. Romans 12:15 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

Be imitators of Me

Just as I gave to you, now you freely give the same to others. I did not come to notice your faults and analyze your sins. I did not come to remind you of your failures or put them on display. I came to cover and heal you with Love. Now you go and do the same. And as you do this in remembrance of Me, you also will be changed. Matthew 10: …7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. Isaiah 43a: 25 I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins. Ephesians 4: 32 Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
